Pompey were formed in 1898, after the demise of the Portsmouth based Royal Artillery club, who were banned from the FA Amateur Cup that season for professionalism. It was from the Royal Artillery supporters that the famous "Pompey Chimes" chant first originated - and the new Portsmouth club also took the club's colours - pink - and many of their players. Swindon first travelled to Pompey in 1899, when the sides were drawn together in the FA Cup, Pompey winning by two goals to one, and with Portsmouth taking on the Artillery's Southern League place, the two sides became regular opponents immediately - and Pompey quickly became a bogey team, the Town losing fourteen of the first sixteen encounters. One of these early encounters was the only known occasion when the Town took to the field for a competitive first team fixture with only ten players. Bizarrely, in the days of the old 2-3-5 formation, instead of sacrificing a forward, Swindon lined up with just one defender - Paddy Fagan - who was overran as Pompey ran out 5-1 winners. In 1993, both Portsmouth and Swindon were in the race for promotion to the Premier League. In the penultimate game of the season, West Ham visited the County Ground for a match shown live on TV - and with the Hammers and Pompey being the only challengers for the second automatic promotion spot, the Town had a lot of support on the South Coast. Swindon however had already qualified for the play-offs, and when West Ham ran out 3-1 winners and went on to claim second place, some of the Pompey fans blamed the Town for allegedly not taking the game seriously. The situation was made worse after the play-offs, when Leicester beat Pompey in the semi-finals, and the Town triumphed at Wembley - and when the two teams were drawn together in the League Cup the following season, it was billed as somewhat of a revenge match in Portsmouth, and they beat Swindon 2-0.
